"When is this ever going to end, Brother Mu..."
He had only taken a few steps when the familiar complaint reached his ears.
"Alright, I've heard that so many times my ears are about to fall off!"
Chu Mu glanced irritably at Xu Yuan, who had appeared beside him.
He wasn't exaggerating in the slightest. He had been hearing that same complaint for as many days as he had been recovering from his injury.
"Brother Mu, you have it easy, just resting at home every day. But me? I'm stuck in that dungeon day and night, keeping that old thing's corpse company..."
"Oh? He's an 'old thing' now?"
Chu Mu teased.
"Weren't you so affectionate before, calling him 'old sir' this and 'old sir' that?"
Xu Yuan looked like he was about to lose his mind.
"Every night, my dreams are all about that old thing..."
"If this keeps up, I'm really going to go crazy!"
"Complaining to me is useless, you know."
Chu Mu waved his hand. "I'm not from Qili Village. How would I know what they're up to?"
